I say "bizarre" because I've lived most of my life in the South and have spent maybe a few weeks in the Northeast. I work with a guy from Philly and there's no way anyone with ears would ever confuse our accents. But apparently my ability to enunciate the difference between "pen" and "pin" disqualifies my scintillatingly attractive drawl. Guess I'll comfort myself with the notion that Younger Son likes gree-uts.
Oh, and for the record, I take issue with question number 8:
Moving on, what do you think about "Mary," "merry" and "marry"?
| 1 All 3 sound different |
| 2 Mary and merry sound the same but marry is different from them |
| 3 All 3 sound the same |
To my ears, none of the above. Mary and marry sound alike, but merry is different. And who on earth pronounces bag like vague?
